Just ask Adidas ambassador, Beck Jackson, who has to deal with adult acne every day.

But what she finds worse than having to wake up every morning and look in the mirror at a blotchy, red, inflamed face, are people who make comments on how much makeup she wears. And boy, does she have some words for them.

The 23-year-old took to Instagram with two selfies, one in which she’s wearing makeup and one without, to show people why they shouldn’t judge others based on their appearance.

“NEWSFLASH – it’s not nice to tell a woman that their natural self is worth any less than their made up self because comments like these create self-confidence issues within women.”

The blogger, who goes by the Instagram handle @becklomas, explained that since she was 13-years-old, she would cover her “horrible skin” up with makeup to make herself feel beautiful, and as a result got called “cake face” constantly.

“I guess the point I’m trying to get across with this post is that self-confidence is such an important thing, so whatever a girl, or boy, or anyone these days needs to do to make themselves more confident isn’t anyone else’s business so it shouldn’t be commented on...” #preach

“I’m beginning to become more confident without makeup, but also love the fact that I can spend 20 minutes applying it and improves my self-confidence like crazy.”

Her powerful words sparked attention amongst the Instagram community, and she’s received an abundance of support and encouragement.

One user commented: “I have rosacea which I’m being treated for. It got so bad I felt like crying every time I looked at myself in the mirror. And people still questioned why I wore makeup. Umm to make me feel better? To make me feel good about myself?...and so what if people wear a lot of makeup. Everyone expresses themselves in different ways.”

Another follower wrote: “This is truly an amazing post. You are an amazing girl with an incredible heart!!! This post speaks out to everyone on all different levels. I can say the same, makeup always makes me feel great and so does wearing none! I’ve started to not care what other people perceive of me. All of us are beautiful in our own unique way…and you have stated that very well in your post tonight. Go Beck!

But her words of wisdom don't stop there.

In a previous post, she posted a series of three headshot selfies after coming straight out of the shower, in order to offer advice to others who struggle with an insecurity.

“Imperfections are only skin deep, there is literally so much more to you than the way you look, what your hair looks like, the condition of your skin, the shape of your body, your height, your weight – real beauty comes from the inside and you aren’t defined by your imperfections.’

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
